Bit of a hot take, but....
Said pretty much the same in a group chat that I found more interesting that watching much of the game. Compared to Watson or Nowell, his footwork is non-existent, unless the ball is going to get to him at full tilt in space, I'm struggling to see much worth in him. Running people over isn't working.
That's the exact point. Coka's USP is rampaging and power. Give him the ball in a bit of space and I reckon he can seriously damage anyone. But it's incumbent on his team mates to work that space for him. He can make ground in confined spaces, but it's not really playing to his point of difference. He's never going to wriggle like Nowell.
